This is why you should not miss Sziget 2023!

What: Sziget Festival / Where: Budapest, Hungary / When: 10 – 15 August 2023 / Genre: You name it, they have it!


Sziget has it all. The festival is known for the variety in the lineup. Every year around 360,000 visitors travel all the way to Hungary to enjoy the best music. Why Sziget 2023? In this blog we will tell you all about it!

The Maximal bus trip to Sziget will make your festival experience unforgettable. With who are you getting in the bus?

The lineup

The greatest artists gather here, but don’t be surprised if you suddenly dance to the tunes of some uplifting Romanian folk music, complete with accordion and clarinet.

The stages range from gigantic (Main Stage) to intimate (Gay Bar) and from closed area’s (A-38) to open (Colloseum). You get a map, but you will get lost anyway. Let it happen and end up in a camping private performance with torchlight from the next singer-songwriter guitar talent. Stay tuned for the lineup for Sziget 2023 by our blog.

Sziget Festival

The best artists!

The location

Most festivals take place in the middle of nowhere. Sziget festival is slightly different. If you look closely you can see the bustling city of Budapest from out of your tent. Chances are you go here at least once. Chill in an old bathhouse or stroll the marble streets. Score super cheap delicious food or sit back and relax in an obscure old cinema. Explore!

No camping

Funfact of the Sziget campsite: there is no camping. At least, not such a Western European freaked out version with gates, numbers and lots of rules. Expect trucks that suddenly stand next to your tent for loading or unloading. Or happy festival-goers when you put your tent next to Mainstage. It is possible, because as said: no rules on Sziget. Pitch your tent anywhere you want: doesn’t that sound too good to be true?

Bring hammocks and build your own mini campsite in the trees (hammock-sex is dangerous and we don’t recommend it). The best thing about the Sziget camping: the shade. You will really enjoy being out of the burning sun for some time.

Tip: Travel by bus and make 50 new friends along the way. From then on the festival has really started! Book your Maximal bus trip to Sziget now! Easy, cheap and simply very cozy!

sziget camping

You can literally put your tent anywhere: dreams!

What you don't expect (but will like!)

Even the most seasoned Sziget visitor knows: there is always something new to discover in the Sziget jungle of activities.

Find the Gaybar and kiss the bartender for a beer, drink your cocktail in the skybar at 80 meters up in the air, find your inner self panting on a yoga mat and sweat out your alcohol, take the STD test just to be sure, bungee jump and take your GoPro with you, throw a rainbow into the sky at the Color Party, pour your heart out at the Sziget psychologist, play bluff in the Poker tent, get lost in the 3D maze, have a belly piercing put on, get a tattoo on your ass or meet Igór: the tantra sex guru for all your questions. There are many more tips for Sziget festival to make this experience unforgettable.

Cheap alcohol!

When you drink your beers at Sziget you almost get the feeling that you get money for it in return: drinks are usually cheap. But you better watch out, because drinking here quickly becomes boozing, and you have a whole week to go here. Also try cocktails and typical Hungarian drinks like Palinka or Unicum. Last but not least: the cocktail bucket. Tasty and you’ll definitively make new friends with it.

Make sure you stay hydrated!
